Her family members alleged that there were bruises and strangulation mark on her throat. Her body also bears bruises and injury marks, her mother alleged.
She said that she spoke to Chinmayee at around 6 pm and she was about to board bus for Bhubaneswar at 9 pm. “We got a call regarding the incident at 9.30 pm” she said.
Her father, a doctor by profession, also echoed similar views. He said “My daughter used to say that suicide is the act of coward. So, she has not taken such extreme step. There is also no reason of committing suicide.”
Burla police launched an investigation into the allegation.
A youth of the same institution has been detained and questioned. The youth named Kirtiman had a relationship with the victim, sources said.
